SkinPrint proposes producing
human skin by means of a 3D biotechnological printer. iPS (induced Pluripotent
Stem Cells) technology, which has the power to create stem cells from a hair
for example, makes the "ink" for an organic 3D printer. Stem cells
are used to create a unique skin, using the patient's cells. Patients can therefore
make sufficient quantities of their very own skin graft.
